a village in rockland county, new york. Has mostly Hispanic people in it but there is a handfull of Black and Irish people too. Many rocklanders consider it to be one of the more "ghetto" towns in the county, which is both true and not true. There are many areas of haverstraw that are working class and have crime, but there are also some nice parts of the village (like the bay, its very beautiful, and the houses/apartments there aint so cheap either). It is located right off the coast of the Hudson River at its widest point.

Rocklander #1: Wanna go chill in haverstraw this weekend?
Rocklander #2: Sure, we can meet up with a friend of mine who lives there.
